The number of Massachusetts residents earning $1 million or more doubled between 2004 and 2014.

The state Department of Revenue (DOR) releases a report in the fall that breaks down the number of people, by municipality, who have filed income taxes with an adjusted gross income of more than $1 million.

In Massachusetts, 15,422 residents filed income tax returns stating they made more than $1 million in 2014. Another 1,808 people working in Massachusetts but living elsewhere earned a seven-figure income.

The report released in September 2016 included the data about the tax year 2014 from the DOR Statistics of Income. This report only listed towns where four or more million dollar earners lived.

By the numbers

4.63

Weston is the town with the largest percentage of its residents earning a million dollars or more. In 2014, 4.63 percent of Weston residents (555 tax filers) hit that marker. In 2004, the percentage of residents hitting that marker was 2.86 percent (the highest in that year).

5

The five communities — Boston, Newton, Wellesley, Weston and Cambridge — with the most people earning $1 million or more does not change between 2004 and 2014, but the number of residents earning seven-figures increases in all five communities.

Find out how many of your neighbors earned at least seven figures.

The state DOR only reports towns that have at least four tax filers who earned at least $1 million. In 2014, 128 of the state’s 351 communities did not appear on the list.
